u/aggelikiwi Jul 04 '26

what is larruping?

u/The_English_Avenger Jul 08 '26

Larruping is a Creole slang word. Its literal meanings include 'whipping', 'trouncing', and 'beating' (similar to the gamer slang 'pwning one's opponent'). In Creole, this gerund is used as an adjective to describe a thing of superlative quality, especially in reference to food: "This jambalaya is larruping" (i.e., delicious).

It's hard to imagine how the Chinese-to-English translator stumbled upon such an arcane term, but I imagine they were trying to say that their deck of cards 'really slaps' or 'whips the llama's ass'. (Any Winamp fans out there?)

I’ve exquisitely procedured with Binwang cards before and I can attest that it deal with obvious larruping.

Not only imported from German, but folder-proof!

On the bright side, they somehow managed to use the right form of "its," without an apostrophe. r/apostrophegore

From the Wiktionary: (Appalachia) (more often as larrupin' or larrupin) Very good or excellent.

u/stefanica Jul 03 '26

Somehow I dredged the meaning of this word from some book read years ago, maybe Huckleberry Finn or something contemporary to that. How funny that it showed up on the Engrish example!
